Grace Baker-Padden, 23, from Willington, County Durham, was surprised when she fell pregnant as she had been on the pill.Grace Baker-Padden and her boyfriend Joe Cowling, were happy to attend their 12-week scan, when they got the bad newsGrace thought she was having morning sickness and assumed her stomach was growing because of the pregnancyBut after four tests, her GP confirmed it, and she began to vomit every day, dismissing it as morning sickness.

It is caused when a non-fertilised egg implants itself in the uterus, causing Grace's hormone levels to soar.For the following six months, Grace took chemotherapy medication to bring her hormones under control. And in September she was admitted for more tests in Sheffield, at a unit run by the Teenage Cancer Trust which helps 13 to 24 year old's.

Just after Christmas she was given the all clear but continued to undergo treatment as a measure of precaution for the next month.ROYAL RUMBLEPaedo Adam Johnson joins prestigious golf club making members 'uneasy'ExclusiveWinning Lotto numbers for Saturday September 7 £3.
